| 2025 Q4 | Jan 19, 2026 | Hosking Partners | 7.2% | 33.5% | 000660.KS, 005930.KS, 055550.KS, AA, AAPL, BARC.L, C, FCX, HCC, IMPUY, MSFT, MU, SBSW, STX, SYF, TIGO | AI, contrarian, emerging markets, Japan, Mining, Platinum, technology, value | The strategy maintains a contrarian value approach, betting on mean reversion after a decade of growth dominance. Valuation spreads have reached extreme levels with enterprise value to sales ratios spanning 100-fold, creating opportunities in undervalued sectors. The AI capital paradox is creating opportunities as technology leaders face increasing capital intensity. McKinsey estimates $5.2 trillion in physical asset investments by previously asset-light firms, likely compressing returns on assets and valuations. South African platinum group metals were major contributors with Impala Platinum up 243%, Sibanye Stillwater up 360%, and Northam Platinum up 298%. The metals and mining sector weighting of 12% versus 2% index exposure drove significant outperformance. The strategy maintains triple-weight exposure to Japan at 14% versus 5% index weight, betting on corporate restructuring and activist investor pressure. Over 50 holdings target companies with depressed ROA ratios capable of dramatic improvement. | View | |
